Kyson's Blessing

On Sunday we finally blessed Kyson. He looked so handsome in his outfit and very grown-up. We feel very blessed to have had so many family and friends in attendance. All of Phil's brothers were able to come and that was nice because we finally got to see his brother Jeff's little girl Braxton that was born in Feb. And she is one little chunky cutie! We also had friends travel from Vernal, Layton, Draper, and Logan. It was snowing quite heavily in Northern Utah, so many of them had to travel in the yuck, but they came, and it meant a lot to Phil and I. Phil's step mom got here on Saturday so she was able to come, and his Dad called us from Hawaii to tell us he wished he could have been there. We wished the same, but know he was were he needed to be, and we will get to see him soon. YEAH!
Kyson was a saint all through sacrament and didn't throw up or puke on his outfit. Well at least not until after pictures were taking. Grandpa Tom would be proud! We were able to clean the "blow out" off of his blessing outfit so that was a relief. I thought a lot about little Kyson and the blessing his dad gave him today, but more so I thought about my eternal marriage. I'm so grateful that Phil and I have been sealed for all eternity. I'm grateful that these 3 beautiful children are mine forever. I feel a sense of pity for those that do not have this great blessing and hope that someday they come to the knowledge and realization that they too can be an eternal family. And at that point I hope they grasp it with all their hearts and never let go, because the joy in that one tiny thought is incomprehensible.
